Understanding Revolut Leverage

Leverage allows you to control a larger position with a smaller amount of capital. While this magnifies potential profits, it equally amplifies potential losses — so proper risk management is essential.

As Revolut is regulated by FCA, leverage limits are capped according to regulatory requirements. For retail clients, forex majors are typically limited to 1:30, stocks to 1:5, and crypto to 1:2. Professional traders who qualify may access higher leverage ratios.

Before using high leverage, ensure you have a solid risk management plan in place. Use stop-loss orders on every trade, never risk more than 1–2% of your account on a single position, and consider starting with lower leverage until you are consistently profitable. Calculate your exact margin requirements and position size before placing any trade.
